CHFV National Housing Co-operative Conference 2007: Reflection, Celebration & Vision
The National Housing Co-operative Conference 2007 was a chance for co-ops and tenants who have been feeling under pressure from recent changes to legislative arrangements, to revitalise their commitment and enthusiasm towards co-operative housing. The conference certainly provided an opportunity for Reflection, Celebration & Vision of the co-op model, and it is our hope that we will all continue to affirm the strengths, beliefs and passion within housing co-operatives into the future, as a part of the Australian community housing landscape. Following the great success of the conference and many requests to do so, we thought it best to provide an exhibition, including links to all presentations and workshops from the program, and some snap shots of those who contributed to and enjoyed both the conference and the bus tour on the following day.
